Had the pleasure of working on "Oppenheimer" (I'm in a couple shots in the film). 1 of the greatest honors of my professional work life and 1 of the best productions I've worked on (very organized, collaborative spirit, etc.). Can't wait for the awards season 👌.
Bohemian rap for example was ruined. Movies like that are basically propaganda there's some good ones out there of course but most turn out like bohemian. You start off with Sasha baron Cohen and an amazing script but end up with rami and horrible production
You even included Walk The Line 😮. I adore how you left this as an artist’s reminder to use their own vision and trust their format. We can easily fall into that temptation to trust others as right and their way being THE way because we aren’t confident in our own ways. Love love love that in this video.

"Live a life worthy of a biopic." paired with Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is the best! You guys put a ton of love into this. I haven't been researching Miyazaki as much as I used to so it was great that you guys had him up there with all the other greats. Miyazaki was the one who got me into the filmmaking world. It hasn't worked out for me in animation for many reason but I am enjoying every minute putting all he has taught me into live action films.
My Favorite Biopic Films are : -Andrei Rublev (1966) from Andrei Tarkovski -Raging Bull (1980) from Martin Scorsese -The Aviator (2004) from Martin Scorsese -Schindler's List (1993) from Steven Spielberg -Lincoln (2012) from Steven Spielberg -Braveheart (1995) from Mel Gibson -Amadeus (1985) from Milos Forman -Gandhi (1982) from Richard Attenborough -Malcolm X (1992) from Spike Lee -Ray (2004) -Ali (2001) from Michael Mann -The Social Network (2010) from David Fincher -Blonde (2022) -My Left Foot (1989) from Jim Sheridan -Bright Star (2009) from Jane Campion -JFK (1991) from Oliver Stone -Born on fourth of July (1989) from Oliver Stone And many other Biopic Films.

I’m Not There has always been my favorite biopic since I was a teen and was just getting into Dylan’s music. I just loved that idea that none of these characters were actually Bob Dylan, they just instead highlighted every specific detail of his complexity. Brilliant film and method of telling someone’s story.

Even though I haven’t seen many biopics that I’ve loved, I really enjoy them. I think they present a real challenge for all the collaborators of a film; the director, the writer, the cinematographer, everyone.

I'm not trying to sound mean but a lot of biopics feel like cheap imitations of the real person, and they are so overly dramatized, not all but many, it's better to watch a documentary or read about the real persons and the events in which occurred, rather than watch a fabricated movie, but I understand why biopics exist it's just to tell the real persons story through a cinematic lens even though what is shown onscreen is somewhat fabricated.
@@justaguy2365 Yes definitely, biopics are all just imitations, even the best imitation is still just an imitation, plus these movies feel mostly the same, it's better like you said to read a book about the real person, or even watch a documentary with clips of the real person to show what they were like rather than to dramatize them and fabricate events for emotional impact in a movie.
@@TallicaMan1986 I watch them because I love movies/cinema, but yes they're pretty terrible, the best thing like you said is to do a deep dive on them and research them, maybe through documentaries and reading up on the real person to go a bit more in depth of their life and personality.
Could you make a video about James Cameron's style please? I liked your videos about Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan. They're my 2 favorite movie directors ever. James Cameron is my 3rd favorite

It is important to observe the political angle here. In an age where many people consume predominantly visual media, a biographical film about a historical person will often be the first and sometimes the only information that some viewers will ever get about this character. The audience tends to believe what it sees on the screen, especially when the production design gives a convincing impression of historical accuracy. This opens the possibility, or danger - depending on your intentions - to disguise personal political opinions as historical facts that the audience might accept as such without much questioning. If you have to learn how to make a biopic, then we should also learn how to watch one. The national socialists in Germany made extensive use of this when they shot those highly manipulative "proxy films" ("Stellvertreterfilme") about historical figures like Frederick the Great or Otto von Bismarck, thus making Hitler some kind of legitimate heir to their authority. But there are also many examples in English language movies. Examples include the negative depiction of Muhammed Ali Jinnah, founder of modern Pakistan, in "Gandhi", or the positive depiction of I.R.A. founder Michael Collins in Neil Jordan's film of the same name (e.g., Collins doesn't kill anyone in the entire movie). Even if you don't want to influence your audience in a manipulative way, it is almost impossible to give a historical character - and especially the minor characters with limited screen time - the serious examination they would deserve.
Studio binder....while its filming biography its still have some changes for the cinema fantasy ......in tollywood we have "mahanathi" - which was based on the legend - Savithiri mam.....it is huge hit.....do you have any experience like best biography....i damn sure to suggest this film.....but here the problem is the film is not 💯 based on the true incidents ....it has some legal issues to shot some scenes and commercials in indian cinemas....any way we adhere biography and this video is as like created enthusiasm to aspiring film makers
Biopics that are masterpieces: Raging Bull by Martin Scorsese The Aviator by Martin Scorsese The Social Network by David Fincher Steve Jobs by Danny Boyle
Alright, calm down. Boyle's Jobs was decent, but I'm sick of every fifteen year old cheapening the phrase "masterpiece" for every thing that's just decent.
I enjoy a good biopic myself now and then but I totally agree with Tarantino's point about them being excuses for awards etc. But I also believe that watching a documentary about the person will give you all the complexities of their life.
There is a lot of wrong or fake information in biopics for dramatisation reasons.Amadeus had a lot of fake or invented situations in it.Even the main characters were not like this in real life .But it was a great film
Of course, Amadeus was never intended as being historically accurate. It is so stylized that I don't consider it manipulative in a historical sense. For example, Mozart obviously didn't die in the same night that the "Magic Flute" premiered. It is like Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar or Captain Bligh / Fletcher Christian are only marginally resembling the historical figures but have developed into personas of their own. But I agree with you that many people couldn't distinguish between the historical Salieri and the fictional one. "Being a Salieri" has almost become part of everday language (for example in Danny Boyle's "Yesterday"). I wonder if Milos Forman would have shot the film the same way if Mozart and Salieri had lived more recently and Salieri's close family would still have been alive. It might have resulted in a libal suit. :-)
@@johnjim6793 One thing they got right is that Salieri was a wealthy person from his music and Mozart was not.Salieri did have great public relations with powerful people where Mozart did not because of his pride and ego that made him end up really poor
A story should be about the most important part of someone’s life that caused them to go through a change of character. I don’t think a biopic should be about an entire persons life but the most important part of their life. Lincoln does this well by focusing on the end of the American civil war for example instead of Lincolns entire life. If it’s a film it’s impossible to do decades of someone’s life any justice, you could do it in a series.
The King's Speech, The Social Network, and Amadeus are three of my favorite biopics. In each of these the angle is well established, namely the king's speech impediment, Zuckerberg's inferiority complex, and Salieri's jealousy. If the script can stick to its angle without going on a tangent that derails the story, then half the battle is won.
You know, when it comes to our military coup leader, Park Chung-Hee, it would be great to explore his entire life in a series instead a film. Nevertheless, great video.
But I did enjoy North Korea’s take on his assassination tho, btw how does current Korean people think about him? As a person being sympathetic for Jeon Tae-il, 전태일, I can never feel sympathetic for Park Chung hee.
Biopics movies shouldn't be a life covering within 2-3 hours, it meanders without saying much. Instead focusing an event or moment that realizes Theme to depth well, or that changes perspective, people or place anything
Can you do an analysis of Karan Johar the famous Bollywood directors cinematography? Like how his earlier films used to focus on Indian diaspora outside the country in places like Egypt, Switzerland, U.S. etc and how his later films focus on more grittier Indian settings. And the fact that one of his films called ‘Dilwale Dulhania Lai Jane ha is still playing in theatres for more than 20 years. And his major involvement in the current structure of the Bollywood industry. And his cementing and promotion of careers of iconic Bollywood stars like Shah Ruk Khan and Salaman Khan. And how ha adapted the ‘Masala Film’ genre first established by Amitab Bachman,s film ‘SHOLAY’ and added his own twist to it. And his philanthropic activities in othsr language film industries around the country such as the Bengali, Marathi and Kannada film industry. And I would also really love an analysis on the evolution of Masala Cinema or Mass Cinema and why it has proven so popular in the Indian movie scene. As well as how the Film industry and commercial music industry are essentially combined into one and support the careers of several great commercial musicians such as AR Rahman, Lata Mangeshkar and Shreya Ghoshal and fusion of western and Indian music style to create commercial songs and soundtracks. And also a video on analysing the ‘Paralell cinema’ or new Indian cinema movement in india. “or New Indian Cinema, is a film movement in Indian cinema that originated in the state of West Bengal in the 1950s as an alternative to the mainstream commercial Indian cinema. Inspired by Italian Neorealism, Parallel Cinema began just before the French New Wave and Japanese New Wave, and was a precursor to the Indian New Wave of the 1960s. The movement was initially led by Bengali cinema and produced internationally acclaimed filmmakers such as Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, Tapan Sinha and others. It later gained prominence in other film industries of India. It is known for its serious content, realism and naturalism, symbolic elements with a keen eye on the sociopolitical climate of the times, and for the general rejection of inserted song-and-dance routines that are typical of mainstream Indian films.” -From Wikipedia

On the mountain of Biopics that Hollywood has created, and all the ones yet to be added, one sits forever at its peak- Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Anyone who disagrees, is an A-Hole!
My opinion is "Oppenheimer" seems to be overestimated. Just dull and inconsistent. Tangled abrupt storylines. Sloppy editing. Absence of the director's part. 4 of 10
I'm going to call BS on M. Heller's claim on a Fred Roger's biopic. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was a pretty terrible bait and switch biopic for Lloyd Vogel and his pathetic relationship with his father.
biopic is the most boring film genre, and not all people can make effective biopic,, Oliver stone knows how to do right one because for some reason he never intend his biopic to win oscar!
Biopics SUCK. Too much "artistic license". Just give me a documentary. Ron Howard told Tom Hanks when he objected to the LM "argument" scene in "Apollo 13" (that DID NOT HAPPEN) that he wanted it for "dramatic tension", as if the true story wasn't dramatic enough. Putting in that scene, which again, DID NOT HAPPEN (per Jim Lovell), does a disservice to NASA training, Fred Haise, and the memory of Jack Swigert... Normally, a Ron Howard fan, but not in this case... Unfortunately, more people are getting their "history" from these movies (basically, ignore everything in "Napoleon")...
@@StudioBinder It was boring. There wasn't much happening in the beginning. I only saw it once in theaters and my memory of it is foggy. It was forgettable back then. But I couldn't really tell you what the inciting incident was, I don't remember a philosophical conflict of any kind, the structure was muddled, the performances were nothing to write home about, and the directing was second-rate film school. There was nothing creative about it. And it was painfully overrated by Rotten Tomatoes when they rated it a 99%. The Academy knew better and gave it a Best Picture nomination for effort and political consciousness. Its lack of other Oscar nominations inspired the absurd #Oscarsowhite myth.

We're all Aaron Sorkin fans
Film is about spreading stories and it doesn’t cheapen the film if the story is real
People generally think it enhances the film if it's based on a real story
The late Terence Davies' biopic of Emily Dickinson, "A Quiet Passion", is one of the best that I've seen.

Not really a biopic as much as an incident based on a true story.

As a person being sympathetic for Jeon Tae-il, 전태일, I can never feel sympathetic for Park Chung hee.
Would love to see a series come out of Korea!
The biopic that internet made : chris chan
My favourite was I was 'Monty's Double Scotch'.
I dreamed about making a movie biopic about singer Christina Grimmie
Every video is littered with AHA moments. Studio binder makes me smarter.
as beautiful as usual
💖
Biopics I want to see are Phoenix Jones, Fleetwood Mac, Rob Ford, Diego Maradona, and the Beatles.
I think the Beatles did it themselves with A Hard Day's Night
Biopics movies shouldn't be a life covering within 2-3 hours, it meanders without saying much.
Instead focusing an event or moment that realizes Theme to depth well, or that changes perspective, people or place anything

Can you do an analysis of Karan Johar the famous Bollywood directors cinematography? Like how his earlier films used to focus on Indian diaspora outside the country in places like Egypt, Switzerland, U.S. etc and how his later films focus on more grittier Indian settings. And the fact that one of his films called ‘Dilwale Dulhania Lai Jane ha is still playing in theatres for more than 20 years. And his major involvement in the current structure of the Bollywood industry. And his cementing and promotion of careers of iconic Bollywood stars like Shah Ruk Khan and Salaman Khan.
And how ha adapted the ‘Masala Film’ genre first established by Amitab Bachman,s film ‘SHOLAY’ and added his own twist to it. And his philanthropic activities in othsr language film industries around the country such as the Bengali, Marathi and Kannada film industry.
And I would also really love an analysis on the evolution of Masala Cinema or Mass Cinema and why it has proven so popular in the Indian movie scene.
As well as how the Film industry and commercial music industry are essentially combined into one and support the careers of several great commercial musicians such as AR Rahman, Lata Mangeshkar and Shreya Ghoshal and fusion of western and Indian music style to create commercial songs and soundtracks.
And also a video on analysing the ‘Paralell cinema’ or new Indian cinema movement in india.
“or New Indian Cinema, is a film movement in Indian cinema that originated in the state of West Bengal in the 1950s as an alternative to the mainstream commercial Indian cinema.
Inspired by Italian Neorealism, Parallel Cinema began just before the French New Wave and Japanese New Wave, and was a precursor to the Indian New Wave of the 1960s. The movement was initially led by Bengali cinema and produced internationally acclaimed filmmakers such as Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, Tapan Sinha and others. It later gained prominence in other film industries of India.
It is known for its serious content, realism and naturalism, symbolic elements with a keen eye on the sociopolitical climate of the times, and for the general rejection of inserted song-and-dance routines that are typical of mainstream Indian films.” -From Wikipedia
Thanks for the suggestion!

On the mountain of Biopics that Hollywood has created, and all the ones yet to be added, one sits forever at its peak- Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Anyone who disagrees, is an A-Hole!
😂
Where's the Weird Al biopic?! RIP Al
Maybe in the future haha
Hollywood likes biopics because they come with a built-in audience. 🙃
My opinion is "Oppenheimer" seems to be overestimated. Just dull and inconsistent. Tangled abrupt storylines. Sloppy editing. Absence of the director's part. 4 of 10

Still need to see Malcolm X...
One of Spike Lee's biggest films!
Spike Lee's Best Movie.
If only Shirley had ANY basis in fact.
Quentin Tarantino saying something reductive and ignorant? I've never!
Not everyone will agree with him, but his thoughts on film are worth listening to
@@StudioBinder He is entertaining, I agree. But, unlike Scorsese, his encyclopedic knowledge of movies rarely comes along with wisdom.
Who is the narrator? The voice seems familiar
Our narrators prefer to stay anonymous for now!
@@StudioBinder 🤣
I'm going to call BS on M. Heller's claim on a Fred Roger's biopic. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was a pretty terrible bait and switch biopic for Lloyd Vogel and his pathetic relationship with his father.
biopic is the most boring film genre, and not all people can make effective biopic,, Oliver stone knows how to do right one because for some reason he never intend his biopic to win oscar!
He definitely has some good ones!
Biopics SUCK. Too much "artistic license". Just give me a documentary.
Ron Howard told Tom Hanks when he objected to the LM "argument" scene in "Apollo 13" (that DID NOT HAPPEN) that he wanted it for "dramatic tension", as if the true story wasn't dramatic enough. Putting in that scene, which again, DID NOT HAPPEN (per Jim Lovell), does a disservice to NASA training, Fred Haise, and the memory of Jack Swigert...
Normally, a Ron Howard fan, but not in this case...
Unfortunately, more people are getting their "history" from these movies (basically, ignore everything in "Napoleon")...
No
Elon Musk getting his own biopic movie being directed by Darren Aronofsky..You know its going to be one trippy ass effed up movie and I cant wait
That will be wild
Step One: please don’t I’m so tired
It'll be here when you're ready!
@@StudioBinder ahahaha thanks guys
Selma was too bad to be worth mentioning.
What didn't you like about it?
@@StudioBinder It was boring. There wasn't much happening in the beginning. I only saw it once in theaters and my memory of it is foggy. It was forgettable back then. But I couldn't really tell you what the inciting incident was, I don't remember a philosophical conflict of any kind, the structure was muddled, the performances were nothing to write home about, and the directing was second-rate film school. There was nothing creative about it. And it was painfully overrated by Rotten Tomatoes when they rated it a 99%. The Academy knew better and gave it a Best Picture nomination for effort and political consciousness. Its lack of other Oscar nominations inspired the absurd #Oscarsowhite myth.
Biopics are the most embarrassing genre. Imagine an actor pretending to be a real person lol
Isn't that what acting always is? to create a real person on screen, whether it's a made up character or based on history
@@StudioBinder Actors pretending to be real people is profoundly embarrassing.
